Your XW pisses me off and heres why. She doesn't respect you and is taking you for granted. That no "Thank you" stuff is just wrong because it shows disrespect for you as a human being. This time apart is perfectly timed. She neeeds to learn to appreciate and quickly. Don't bring up the lack of appreciation just quick doing the "extras". That is the only way she might realize it. If you mention it you know you are in for a fight. One more thing, don't woory about whether she misses you or not. It doesn't matter for your sitch. She is probably so self-absorbed right now that she won't. She will very caught up having fun as will you when you go on your trip. Do your best to completely put aside your R for 2 weeks. There is nothing you can do about it but obsess while she is gone. What are you hunting for? I am a big hunter from the midwest and am going out west next fall with my dad.
